Ingredients
Scale
Slider Buns and Butter Mixture
- Kings Hawaiian Sweet Slider Buns (9 count)
- 3 tbsp softened butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp salt
Filling
- Au jus seasoning packet (1 packet)
- Water (as per au jus packet instructions)
- 1 lb roast beef, sliced
- 8 provolone cheese slices
- Crispy fried onions (about 2 handfuls)
Instructions
- Prepare and Toast the Buns: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spread the softened butter evenly over the insides of the Hawaiian slider buns. Sprinkle garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt over the buttered surfaces. Place the buns on a baking tray and bake for about 10 minutes until the buns are nicely toasted and golden brown.
- Prepare the Au Jus with Roast Beef: While the buns toast, combine the au jus seasoning packet with water according to the package directions in a saucepan. Heat the mixture on the stove until hot. Add about 18 slices (around half the container) of roast beef into the au jus and let the meat warm thoroughly, allowing it to soak up the flavors. You can adjust the amount of meat to your preference.
- Assemble the Sliders: Once the buns are toasted, place 4 slices of provolone cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Layer warm roast beef over the cheese, ensuring to drain excess au jus to prevent sogginess. Add another 4 slices of provolone cheese on top of the roast beef, then sprinkle a couple handfuls of crispy fried onions over the cheese.
- Melt the Cheese and Serve: Return the assembled sliders to the oven for a few minutes, just enough to melt the provolone cheese. Once melted, top each slider with the bun tops. Serve the sliders warm with a side of the remaining hot au jus for dipping. Enjoy your tasty French Dip Sliders!
Notes
- Use softened butter for easier spreading on the buns.
- Drain some of the au jus from the roast beef before assembling to avoid soggy buns.
- You can adjust the amount of roast beef and cheese slices to suit your taste and slider size.
- Crispy fried onions add texture but can be omitted if preferred.
- Serve immediately for the best experience, while the cheese is melted and the buns are still warm.
